who wrote the BIBLE!! the very first bible ever written???? SERIOUS?

Question

i want to know who who was the first person to write the bible and what year it was??

Answer 1

To answer this question would be impossible. The Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. Many scholars agree that the dates of these two portions are different. In each of these portions are books that are written at different times. Scholars will agree that the Old Testament’s timing and placements are all correct and were written at different times. The problem comes when people look at the timing of the New Testament. It was at the counsel of Nisei in which the complete collection of books we now know as the Bible was bound. According to Dan Brown, this is where Jesus was made into a god; however, this isn’t true. According to Albert Molher, (www.albertmohler.com) this is a fallacy and other questions about the Bible should be directed at this site.

Answer 2

No one person wrote the Bible. It is a compilation of books written by many different authors. Some of the books themselves are probably compilations written by many different authors (Genesis and Exodus, for example). Some believe Moses wrote the first five books, but this is most likely legend since writing style, vocabulary, and grammar differ within the text. Additionally, there are problems of consistent logic throughout, which betrays the probability that the first five books of the Bible were written by many different hands.

The New Testament was also written by many different people, most likely during the first century. However, no one has access to the original documents, we only have copies of copies of copies of copies. Each of these copies are different in some way, so it is impossible to pin down exactly what the original text says. We can only approximate what the original text said. So, in a sense, the Bible was 'corrupted' over the years of its written transmission by careless or theologically motivated scribes.

If God did indeed inspire the Bible, why didn't God then preserve the original documents so that we could know what they said? My hunch is that these are very human documents, written by human beings with their own theological, social, and cultural biases. These texts, in my opinion, do point to God, but they weren't authored by God. Just my opinion though. Hope this helps a bit.

Answer 3

First Bible Ever Written

Answer 4

If you're talking about the Christian Bible, there is no quick answer. It has gone through various versions, as have the various books making up what we usually think of as that Bible. What you would want to do is ask the question, when did "we" decide what form the current Bible would take?
Some people will steer you toward the Council of Nicea of 787 as one of the most important meetings of those who would decide what we think of as Christianity.
However, you have to see that your question is faulty, as THE Bible was compiled, rather than written. The Old Testament was written long before the compilation we call "The Bible." And now, since there are new translations of the old texts, and even things like the Dead Sea Scrolls coming to light, it's questionable whether the Bible is even a finished work.

Answer 5

Boy!! I am sure there are several places where you can research that. As far as a "formal" first Bible goes, most historians seem to accept the Greek one that took all of the books and compiled them in to a work that has a Greek name, which loosely translated is "the work of the 70". This is because they got 70 top scribes and other authorities together in Alejandra and spent much time coming up with it in three languages, Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. There are many ancient "books" some of which have been used in different versions of the Bible and several that have been abridged over time, but to pin it down to the "First" is like asking which is the "true" one. There have been wars fought over that argument.

And don't let any one try to snow you with that BCE (before Clinton crap) and CE (Clinton era). That calender didn't exist until 96 when it dawned on some one that when Clinton said he "was going to build a bridge to the 21st century and lead us by our hands in to the next millennium", he wouldn't even be in office and the new century woulden't start til 2001. So the BBC ala PBS/WGBH Boston, created it with their TV special "The Peoples Century-1900-1999" There wasn't a parochial, private or home school 3rd grader that didn't know that the years 1900 and 1999 weren't even in the same century. That gave us the false 2k/y2k scam, and the rest is history. There was a real calender that the Hebrews adopted around 900 to 930 AD that was called BCE/AM and was also adopted as the state calender by the Israli government in 1949 to coenside with the common worlds use of the BC/AD calender.

Answer 6

The Bible was written by many Jews. The oldest part of the Bible is The Old Testament. It was written in Hebrew and some parts date back to 1400 BC, although the first written was around 900 BC.

Answer 7

There are diffferent theories as to who wrote the bible. Religios people will tell you that God wrote it, or dictated it to somone.
The first part of the Bible - the Old Testament, was put together at around 200-300 BC, but written a lot before that. Some people believe it was just a collection of writings that were put toether in order to teach future generations about history. Others think that Moses wrote the first 5 books in the old testament, after God dictated them to him.
Some books do have a known author - King Salomon is one of them.

Answer 8

Jehovah God inspired his writers from the first Moses who finished his writings in 1315 B.C.E. finally to the apostle John nearly 2000 years ago in 98 C.E. So the bible took 1500 years to write down spanning 66 books and letters by 40 writers.

God's faithful servants wrote it down in ancient Hebrew and Greek. The writers where from many walks of life and many never met each other some knew each other like the disciples of Jesus.

The holy scriptures of the bible influenced by Jehovah God are the first and oldest of all religious texts and is the oldest religion in the world.
The Hebrew scriptures (Judaism) [often known as Old Testament] 1315 B.C.E. - 443 B.C.E.are the oldest set of texts (before Jesus came to Earth as a man) and Greek Scriptures (Christianity) [often known as New Testament] 41 C.E. - 98 C.E. after Jesus was resurrected.

Answer 9

This is for Burkha.... The bible is written by different authors, it is a book pulled together after his death. The bible is simply a book of books...The Old testament is written before Jesus was born through the time of his birth, the New testament is written during his life as a man, his sacrifice & after he died. So technically neither. The bible started before his birth but was not written first.

Answer 10

well we dont have any author written autographs in existence today of the Old testament, plent of manuscripts though. the New Testament was written by an autograph, which means this...the original version, first written in Greek, was written between 45-95 a.d. example would be the Pauline Epistles, the Gospel of Mark, the Gospel of Luke and the book of acts these were written between 45-63 a.d. Gospel of John and the Revelation may have been written as late as 95 ad. autograph means the original texts were written either by the authors own hand or by a scribe under their personal supervision.

Answer 11

Different people wrote the Bible. Moses wrote the first 5 books I think.
